Location

I Decided after a lot of research that Galleywood common would be the safest place to film the opening scene of The Deal. This was because it would be secluded at the time of filming and we wouldn't have as many issues as filming in the city with the gun props and the cameras.

The wide tree and the stump shown in pictures 3-4 were the perfect set up for the impaling scene on the storyboard. Whereas the script and storyboard woulds have to be adapted for use in town or a different park.

The only problem we would face when filming in the car park is that if it was busy it would ruin the secluded deserted look the film was going for. Therefore to overcome this we would film in the middle of the day during standard working hours were the common would be at its quietest.

The gravel car park offered the exact look that I was hoping for, for the film as it looked discrete and mysterious.
